rmahendrakar Posted July 1, 2003 Posted July 1, 2003 Hi, I am new to this forum and I just wanted to know which engine oil I have to use for my 1992 ES-300 it has around 140K miles ... I am using Pennzoil API Grade SG, SAE 10W-30, is this OK ? Please do let me know thank you, Ravi
SKperformance Posted July 1, 2003 Posted July 1, 2003 that is fine a synthetic would be best for an older engine maybe a 15w-30 for added protection from wear
SW03ES Posted July 2, 2003 Posted July 2, 2003 sk, I've always been told to be careful with synthetic on older engines because of leakage as the old sludge is cleaned away...
steviej Posted July 2, 2003 Posted July 2, 2003 I had a 93 Bonneville SSEi, switched to synthetic at 85k and used it till I traded the car at 155k. Never a leak, but then again, never any sludging. If it starts to leak, then switch back. If the oil was changed religiously previous to you owning it, then you shouldn't have any problems. Make sure the formula that you choose says "for higher mileage engines" steviej
rmahendrakar Posted July 2, 2003 Author Posted July 2, 2003 What is "Energy Conserving II" type ? is it different from the one I am using ? "Pennzoil API Grade SG, SAE 10W-30" Also is this oil synthetic ? Please do let me know ... Thank you ALL !!! Ravi
